How can I help my avocado plant?
Hi everyone; I am new at posting so I don't know if I am doing this right. I am growing an avocado plant indoors and all was well however, now that it has reached 3ft the leaves are drying up. The plant is in a well ventilated and sunny spot. I make sure is well watered it has plenty of room in the pot but the leaves are drying. I don't know what to do to help it.

All the trees I have grown were only in the house until they were large enough to be transplanted into a bigger pot and kept outside. I am in zone 9 and live right down the road from commercial growers. They do drop leaves as it is part of the natural cycle, but should not be dropping all of them. My best guess might be a lack of humidity. Contact your local Ag Extension or see if you can contact any Master Gardeners in your area.
I had the same thing happen to me. I was so proud of my plant, but it eventually died... I'm definitely going to try again!
I use crushed eggs shell in the soil of the plant I use on all my
trees it helps just don't over water them
